Super Bowl Betting – First TD Prop and Tips to Bet . One of the most popular propositions every year in Super Bowl betting is the first touchdown of the game. Gamblers who bet on Super Bowl props really like this one, as the prop offers attractive odds and it provides quick excitement. Let’s look at the odds for this prop at the Sbg global sportsbook.
Green Bay Favorites
The players who have the lowest odds for the Packers are the ones you would expect. Leading wide receiver Greg Jennings is 6-1 while running back James Starks is 6.5 to 1. Donald Driver is listed at 10-1 while James Jones and Jordy Nelson are 12-1.
Pittsburgh Favorites
The player with the lowest odds on the board in Super Bowl betting is Pittsburgh running back Rashard Mendenhall. He is listed with odds of 5-1. Top wide receiver Mike Wallace has odds of 6.5 to 1. Hines Ward is listed at 10-1. Tight end Heath Miller has some value at 12-1.
Longshots
Anytime you get players with odds of 15-1 or more they are considered longshots. Green Bay longshots include quarterback Aaron Rodgers who is 15-1. Rodgers is a quarterback who can run so he has some value with those types of odds. Running back John Kuhn is listed at 15-1 as well. If the Packers are down near the goal line he probably will get a chance to score. Green Bay tight end Andrew Quarless is listed at 18-1. Running back Brandon Jackson is 20-1. On the Pittsburgh side, wide receivers Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders are 15-1. Backup running backs Isaac Redman and Mewelde Moore are 25-1.
The Field
If you believe that a defensive player will get the first touchdown or someone other than the players listed above will score first then you can take the field at odds of 5-1 when you bet on Super Bowl props. There is not a lot of value with this bet though because two of the key kick returners for Pittsburgh are already listed. In the last 10 Super Bowls, the first TD of the game has been scored by a wide receiver three times, a running back three times, a tight end once, a quarterback once, a kick returner once and a defensive player once. In Super Bowl history, wide receivers have scored first 17 times while running backs have scored first 16 times.
